This is my first post, so forgive any errors in etiquette.

In regards to the above quote, and to someone who wanted to know the 
odds on seeing Lethifolds in the next book, and someone who said that 
Dementors aren't listed in FBAWTFT, I think Dementors ARE Lethifolds.

There is a suspiciously long description, for one thing, which suggests 
they are important.  Dementors have long cloaks, and Lethifolds are 
described as gliding shadows.  I think the Dementor cloaks are 
Lethifolds, perhaps on a vertical frame.  The description talks about 
cold, which also comes from Dementors.  Lethifolds are countered by a 
Patronus charm, like Dementors.  The only thing we know about dementors 
that we don't know about Lethifolds is that they cause despair and 
unhappy memories to surface.  Lethifolds are found in the tropics, but 
that doesn't mean that someone may not have moved them, perhaps whoever 
set up Azkaban.


Changing the subject completely, there was a question about food, and 
Molly Weasley producing white sauce from her wand.  I think that the 
other food was real, purchased or homegrown and she prepared it either 
by magic or by hand.  However, she was probably stretching as much as 
she could.  The cream sauce wasn't real, it was intended to add some 
flavor to a pretty sparse table, even though it would evaporate from 
the system afterward, so to speak.
